"He naturally can't compare to you, Second Young Master of the Shi Family. To put it in the words of the younger generation, that kid is just a loser," Mother Lin said with a laugh, showing no mercy in her disdain for Jiang Chen.
The Second Young Master of the Shi Family signaled to a waiter to let Jiang Chen in.
The banquet hall was quite quiet. This engagement party of the wealthy was truly spectacular, and at this moment, everyone was watching the entrance, waiting for this "shield" to arrive.
After about two minutes, a casually dressed young man walked in confidently. Upon seeing him, the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh; he was just an ordinary loser. Even Lin Bingbing should have found a better shield than this one; using him would be akin to seeking death.
Perhaps with just a wave of their hand, the Shi Family could make this young man tremble.
Lin Bingbing's family sneered when they saw Jiang Chen actually arrive.
"Bingbing, you’ve really put that kid in a tough spot. Is this really the kind of occasion he should be at?" Mother Lin said with a hint of mockery.
Lin Bingbing simply looked at Jiang Chen, silent, her eyes only on him.
"Master Zhao, this is the kid," Mother Lin said as she turned to the Shi Family, ready to insult Jiang Chen. However, she suddenly felt something was off, and her voice trailed off.
The expressions of the Shi Family seemed unusual; upon seeing Jiang Chen, it was as if they had encountered someone extraordinary.
"Wait, Mr. Jiang? Is that really you?" Shi Ning was the first to react, asking in shock and disbelief.
Over two years ago, Jiang Chen had visited the Shi Family, and their ancestor had treated him with great respect. Shi Gaofeng had naturally shared stories about Jiang Chen's performance in Songnan Martial Arts with his family, which left a lasting impression on them. Shi Ning was no exception. However, seeing Jiang Chen appear in such a capacity tonight left the Shi Family utterly astonished.
"Miss Shi, you know Jiang Chen?" Lin Bingbing asked in surprise. But upon reflection, it made sense; Jiang Chen was no ordinary person, so it was reasonable for the Shi Family to know him.
Hearing Lin Bingbing directly call out Jiang Chen's name, the Shi Family instinctively looked at her with expressions of extreme surprise as if they had witnessed something monumental.
"Uh, what's wrong?" Lin Bingbing asked in confusion; she hadn't done anything out of the ordinary—why were their gazes so strange?
But it was finally Shi Shengguang who reacted.
Lin Bingbing was actually Jiang Chen's woman! They wouldn't dare touch Jiang Chen's woman even if they had a thousand guts. Moreover, given Jiang Chen's special status and Lin Bingbing being a public figure, such matters couldn't be handled publicly tonight with so many people around.
"Ahem, I apologize; tonight's engagement banquet has been canceled. However, since everyone is here, let's enjoy ourselves for a while. I'll come around to greet everyone shortly," Shi Shengguang announced loudly before walking over to Jiang Chen and politely saying, "Mr. Jiang, shall we move somewhere private to talk?"
Jiang Chen nodded; it suited him well as he didn't like being the center of attention.
The Shi Family surrounded Jiang Chen as they walked into a room, and Lin Bingbing and her family followed suit.
However, given the current situation, Lin Bingbing's family could roughly guess what was happening without being foolish.
Jiang Chen truly was as significant as Lin Bingbing had described him to be.
"Bingbing, why didn’t you tell us that this kid—uh, Mr. Jiang—knew the Shi Family? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have treated him like that tonight!" Mother Lin whispered regretfully in her daughter's ear.
